I found a way to solve updating SDI pregnancy delivery date, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH_aN94hTh0

yall ever notice how the hold music is always some weird jazz? like they're trying to hypnotize us into forgetting why we called 🎷🎶😵‍💫

Anyone else feel like we need an EDD support group? 😅 We could all sit in a circle and share our horror stories while eating donuts and drinking coffee.

Guys, I think I figured it out. We need to perform a ritual sacrifice to the EDD gods. Anyone have a spare goat? 🐐🔮

To address your issue, Claimyr can certainly be a feasible option for reaching EDD, especially if time is of the essence. It's designed to streamline the process of getting through to an agent without the usual hassle. However, it's essential to weigh the $20 fee against your personal budget and urgency. It's worth noting that there are free alternatives, such as trying at different times or reaching out to your local assembly member. Additionally, staying organized with all necessary documents is crucial once you finally get through. Ultimately, persistence and patience are key in dealing with EDD.

Protip: If you're gonna be on hold for hours, put your phone on speaker and do something productive. I cleaned my whole apartment last time I called EDD 😅

Here's what worked for me to update my SDI claim info: 1. Call this number: 1-800-480-3287 2. Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish) 3. Press 1 for "Questions about your claim" 4. Enter your SSN when prompted 5. Press 2 for "All other questions" 6. Wait on hold (it took me about 45 minutes) Once you get through, explain that you need to update your pregnancy delivery date. They should be able to do it right away. Make sure you have your claim number and all relevant dates handy. Also, try calling on Tuesday or Wednesday mid-morning. I've found those times to be less busy. Hope this helps! Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck with your claim!

I feel your pain. The EDD system is a total clown show 🤡 I've been trying to sort out my claim for months. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money.

Have you tried updating it online? Sometimes you can make changes through your account without having to call. Might be worth checking out before you spend hours on hold.

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you have all your docs ready when you finally get through. They asked me for like a million things when I updated my info. Better to be prepared!

Sending positive vibes your way, OP! Pregnancy is stressful enough without having to deal with EDD nonsense. Hope you get it sorted soon! ❤️👶

Ugh, dealing with EDD is such a pain. I had to update my info too and it took forever to get through. Keep trying different numbers and times of day. Good luck!

have u tried faxing? i know it sounds old school but sometimes it works when nothing else does lol

i swear the edd website was designed by a toddler using crayons and a potato. how is it so bad in 2023??? 🥔💻

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Has anyone tried contacting their local assembly member's office? I've heard they can sometimes help push things through with EDD.

omg i'm in the same boat! trying to update my info for weeks now. this whole system is a joke fr 😤

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold last week. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Hey Nia! I went through something similar when I had to update my SDI claim info. One thing that really helped me was calling right at 8 AM when they first open - the wait times are much shorter then. Also, make sure you have your claim number, SSN, and the exact new delivery date written down before you call so you're ready to go. The representatives are usually pretty helpful once you actually get through to them. Wishing you the best with your pregnancy and hope you get this sorted out quickly! 🤞

Ugh, I feel you on this! When I needed to update my delivery date for my SDI claim, I literally called 47 times before getting through (yes, I kept count because I'm petty like that 😂). What finally worked for me was calling the 1-800-480-3287 number at exactly 8:02 AM on a Wednesday - apparently those first few minutes after they open are golden. Also, have your social, claim number, and both your old and new delivery dates ready to rattle off quickly. The rep I got was actually super nice and updated everything in like 5 minutes once I finally reached a human. Don't give up! And congrats on your little one! 👶✨

I've been lurking on this thread and wow, you all are giving me life with these comments! 😂 But on a serious note, Nia, I actually just went through this exact same thing last month. The trick that worked for me was calling the 1-800-480-3287 number at 8:05 AM sharp on a Tuesday (seems like early morning is definitely the way to go based on what everyone's saying here!). When you get through the menu, make sure you have your delivery date change request written out clearly - they'll ask for your old expected date and your new actual delivery date. The whole call took about 10 minutes once I got a human on the line. Also, they might ask for your doctor's contact info just to verify, so have that ready too. Really hope this helps and congrats on your pregnancy! This community is amazing with all the support and humor - we're all in this EDD struggle together! 💪✨
